Introduction to LaTeX NetWorkShop by Daniel Göhl

Basics Required components \documentclass – tells LaTeX type of document \begin{document} \end{document} – in between this lines the text is written {} – required information article – document type [] – optional information 12pt – text size, a4paper – paper format \documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} \begin{document} Hello World \end{document}

Compile using TeXnicCenter Push here to compile the document Choose LaTeX => PDF

What happens? A program called pdflatex takes the document, interprets the source code and generates a PDF file. If references are used then pdflatex creates files to resolves these references

Packages Deliver more functions Packages – apacite – references in APA style – amsmath – Mathematical package – German german – old orthography rules ngerman – new orthography rules – Dutch dutch – dutch language support \usepackage{package}

Common commands \tableofcontents – creates the table of contents (TOC) \section and \subsection – Creates sections and subsections – for Index – Using a * behind section disables numbering for this section and section will not be shown in TOC – {} – Section heading – [] – Section heading in TOC \textbf{...} – bold text \textsl{...} - italics

Math (amsmath package) Environments \begin{equation} a = b \end{equation} \begin{equation} a = b \end{equation} \begin{equation*} a = b \end{equation*} \begin{equation*} a = b \end{equation*} \begin{align} a &= b \\ b &= c \\ c &= d \notag \end{align} \begin{align} a &= b \\ b &= c \\ c &= d \notag \end{align} The factor $ \rho $ describes the discount rate

Math (amsmath package) Operators &2^{2} = 4 \\ &2_{a} \\ &\sum_{i=0}^{n} i \\ &\int_{0}^{\infty} a + 10 \\ &\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{x} &2^{2} = 4 \\ &2_{a} \\ &\sum_{i=0}^{n} i \\ &\int_{0}^{\infty} a + 10 \\ &\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{x}

References math - input Taken from last years Productivity assignment. In this task the following equation, \begin{equation} U = \int^{\infty}_0 U(t)e^{-\rho t} \,dt \label{u} \end{equation} was given. It models the lifetime utility $U$. From this utility function one can see that inhabitants of our model economy prefer current consumption over future consumption. The factor $\rho$ describes the discount rate which describes people's time preference. For large values of $\rho$ the term $e^{-\rho t}$ approaches zero, thus the lifetime utility will become also zero. For this reason people prefer to consume now in order to maximze their utility. \\ In equation \ref{u} it is assumed that the lifetime is infinit. This assumption is sounds rather exceptional, but by taking a close look at equation \ref{u} one can see its point. Taken from last years Productivity assignment.
